若要我推舉一首適合分手的歌曲，我會立刻唱出” Take A Bow”

 

這次９８０km旅行時，我就重溫了許多過去的歌曲情境，老先生在旁只是皺眉不解，我只獨衷１０首歌反覆聆聽

 ( 這一點他比我年輕得多 !～他還能聽混音電子樂呢！ ）

 我開車邊聽 Even the nights are better, Lost in love, Because You Loved Me, California dreamin, You light up my life, Longer than, Casablanca,  .... )

搞不好 .... 還偷偷掉下幾滴清淚，只是他沒察覺！

 

其實愛聽的每一首歌幾乎都曾是自己當時一段段的人和故事的牽連，因此有更多共鳴情感而難以忘懷

沒辦法! 打從識事便獨愛才子名士派的風流人物!!

尤其舞文弄墨還外加彈吉他..... 真是死給他去好囉!!

從來，我大約不會特別聽娜姐的歌～如果她不是這麼腥羶賣弄性感，並歌詞充滿挑逗與驚世駭俗～然而這首”Take a bow” 算是Madonna歌曲中最特別且抒情感人的一首，呈現出有別於以往所沒有的質感，雖然還是沒有脫離她的「本色」，不過表現的手法卻收斂了許多！

 

這首歌曲邀請了名製作人Babyface來製作，採用了一支完整編制的管弦樂團，以溫柔復古曲風，唱出了曲終人散的惆悵，相當的動人。整張專輯完成之後，呈現出來的是一種溫暖、深沈而又柔和高貴的風格，並西班牙鬥牛士優美動人的身段與憂鬱的眼神..... 讓歌曲和MV相得益彰，猛加印象分數而創下瑪丹娜個人排行成績紀錄、獲得連續七週冠軍的代表作品「Take a Bow」。

＊＊  千萬別對照奇糟無比的中文翻譯，否則感覺大打折扣  ＊＊

Take a bow, the night is over

This masquerade is getting older

Light are low, the curtains down

There's no one here

[There's no one here, there's no one in the crowd]

Say your lines but do you feel them

Do you mean what you say when there's no one around [no one around]

Watching you, watching me, one lonely star

[One lonely star you don't know who you are]


Chorus:

I've always been in love with you [always with you]

I guess you've always known it's true [you know it's true]

You took my love for granted, why oh why

The show is over, say good-bye



Say good-bye [bye bye], say good-bye



Make them laugh, it comes so easy

When you get to the part

Where you're breaking my heart [breaking my heart]

Hide behind your smile, all the world loves a clown

[Just make 'em smile the whole world loves a clown]

Wish you well, I cannot stay

You deserve an award for the role that you played [role that you played]

No more masquerade, you're one lonely star

[One lonely star and you don't know who you are]


(chorus, repeat)

Say good-bye [bye bye], say good-bye



All the world is a stage [world is a stage]

And everyone has their part [has their part]

But how was I to know which way the story'd go

How was I to know you'd break

[You'd break, you'd break, you'd break]

You'd break my heart



I've always been in love with you

[I've always been in love with you]

Guess you've always known

You took my love for granted, why oh why

The show is over, say good-bye


(chorus)

Say good-bye [bye bye], say good-bye

Say good-bye
